In the book
The reality of a situation does not change; what changes, and the only thing you can change, is your perception of it. Irving Berlin put the same truth in plainer clothes: life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you take it. You will recall the rough formula from the chapters before — the Event plus your Perception equals the Outcome. — The Instruments (Awareness/Perception/Expectations)
